Biography

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a blues rock singer, songwriter and guitarist, born October 3, 1954, in Oak Cliff, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. He married Lenora "Lenny" Bailey (aka Lenora Darlene Vaughan, born in Bakersfield, Kern, California, 4 December, 1953, dead on Isla Mujeres, Mexico, 27 July, 2018) in Austin, Texas, 23 December 1979. The struggling marriage (mostly due to Stevie Ray's alcoholism and drug addiction) ended in 1988, and he never had any children with her or anyone else. He named his guitar "Lennie" after her, though. When [a=Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble], befriended by [a=Mick Jagger] among others, played at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1982, they were the first band in the history of the festival to play without having a major record contract. The show was seen by [a=David Bowie] and [a=Jackson Browne], who invited them to his recording studio in Los Angeles where they recorded some tracks that appeared on their debut album [i]Texas Flood[/i] the following year. He also played on Bowie's [i]Let's Dance[/i]. SRV, as he became known as, died on August 27, 1990 in a helicopter crash on the way to Chicago from a concert in Alpine Valley, East Troy, Wisconsin. He is buried at Laurel Land Memorial Park in South Dallas. He was the younger brother of [a330441].

LYRICS

A wall of denial - is fallin' down
Wo it's fallin' so hard - down to the ground
Never knew something so strong could be washed away by tears
But this wall of denial was just built on fear
We've all had our demons from the garden of white lies
Dressed them amused them pullin' wool over our eyes
Go so far as to love them to keep from letting them go
All the while they we're killin' us but we couldn't let it show

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
We're never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
Down to the ground

Simple things in life bring the greatest pleasure
A smile, a kiss, a little baby's laughter
It makes no difference if we run away in fear
The little things in life hold us so near

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
(We're) never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
Yeah this wall of denial must tumble down
Down to the ground
